I added necessary supporting code like Michael (and a voice filled with repeated half notes, so I could hear the tempo) and got it to compile compile correctly with tempo changes (at least alternating fast and slow sections) on Lilypond 2.19.82 Frescobaldi 3.1.3, so I wouldn't think that is the

Many thanks Michael for your comments. Unfortunately, due to my reluctance (and perhaps inability) of using Port and Terminal, I am obliged to use \version 2.20.2 with Frescobaldi 3.1.3, which maybe are the cause of my midi problems. Anyway, many thanks again for your help Mario Mario

Here is my MWE (structure of lilypond coding regarding part of “Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda” by Claudio Monteverdi): MWE means I can take the code and compile it. And then it shows the problem. I tried to amend your code as follows: I surrounded it with: \version "2.23.5" \include

Hi Mario, please always include the list as well. Sorry Michael for my ignorance, but what is the meaning of the acronym MWE? MWE == Minimum Working Example It means a piece of code as short as possible that just shows the faulty or suspicious behaviour. That greatly helps others to help

And what \tempo should be adopted in order to have a medium-fast midi output? \tempo \breve. = 100 or 200 or 300 seem not changing midi output. For me \tempo \breve. = 100 or 200 or 300 does change the tempo rather distinctively. However you probably want something along the line of \breve. =
